[OzEclipse (Joe Cali)]

Yes it will work. But what's the point? You could take the picture of the Sun from Canberra you posted and then move a black circle across it in photoshop taking snap shots as you go and save yourself a whole lot of trouble.

I suggest you leave the scope behind and just enjoy the eclipse with your partner especially if it is your first eclipse.

good luck what ever you decide
